"Record-Breaking Heatwave Engulfs Phoenix and Fuels California Wildfires"

Phoenix experiences its 31st consecutive day of at least 110 degrees Fahrenheit, while other parts of the U.S. face record-breaking temperatures. July is predicted to be the hottest month ever recorded, with the World Meteorological Organization and the European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service declaring it beyond record-smashing. Wildfires continue to spread in California, with a massive fire in the Mojave National Preserve and another major blaze in Riverside County.
